Animal Quotes
Sometimes my guardian reads to me about animals - usually short quotes or one-liners that help my guardian and I keep grounded. Here are some of our favorite quotes:
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated…I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by [people] from the cruelty of [human kind]"—Mahatma Gandhi
"Animals, as part of God's creation, have rights which must be respected. It behooves us always to be sensitive to their needs and to the reality of their pain."—Dr. Donald Coggan, former Archbishop of Canterbury
"We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace."—Albert Schweitzer, The Philosophy of Civilization
"It is contrary to human dignity to cause animals to suffer and die needlessly."—Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 2418
"Compassion is most important for happiness. We must treat fellow human beings as equal, that is very important, but also all beings who have capacity for feeling. So the innate desire for happiness that is the basis of human rights extends to all sentient beings, including animals and insects. There are now some individuals and organizations who care about animal rights and are showing concern about the suffering or torture of animals. I have noticed among ordinary people, out of their love and compassion, growing efforts for promotion of vegetarianism. These are the right kinds of expression of compassion, very positive and encouraging signs."—His Holiness The Dalai Lama
"The Earth does not belong to man; Man belongs to the Earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself."—Chief Seattle
"The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and a little child shall lead them…They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the Earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord,as the waters cover the sea."—Isaiah 11:6-9.
"A good deed done to an animal is as meritorious as a good deed done to a human being, while an act of cruelty to an animal is a bad as an act of cruelty to a human being."—Prophet Mohammed
"I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being."—Abraham Lincoln "Animals share with us the privilege of having a soul."—Pythagoras
"We must protect the forests for our children, grandchildren and children yet to be born. We must protect the forests for those who can't speak for themselves such as the birds, animals, fish and trees."—Qwatsinas
"Respect the old and cherish the young. Even insects, grass and trees you must not hurt". T'ai-shang kan-ying p'ien, a Confucian-Taoist treatise. Attributed to Ko Hung
"The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different."—Hippocrates
"The fate of animals is of greater importance to me than the fear of appearing ridiculous."—Emile Zola, 1840-1902
I hope you enjoy them like I do!

I like my mom to go to weather.com to help me prepare for those big storms that may be on the horizon. Here's the news for today: "Heavy rain from Ernesto continues to work its way northward. Meanwhile, Hurricane John packs a punch." EEEOOOWWW! I hate thunder! I hide and shake and sometimes want to cuddle. How do you deal with thunder and loud noises?
